Artist Statement:

BROENZ MAZE is an exhibition continuing to build on previous works through a visual narration of where I’m from and how I grew up- showing the nature of a ghetto through first hand experiences. The aesthetic of the work will explore social and personal issues that affect African Americans in these environment. I want the work to create an experience that allows the user feel the environment visually but also questioning its importance.

“FADE IN: INT. ART GALLERY – DAY”
March 3- May 8th

The Swiss Institute18 Wooster StreetNew York, NY

“FADE IN: INT. ART GALLERY – DAY” explores the roles that art plays in film and television. Sculptures, paintings and installations have been sourced, reproduced and created in response to works that have been made to appear on screen. Professor Bell-Smith’s contribution is a selection of fake magazine covers sourced from the Hollywood prop print shop, The Earl Hayes Press.

Students in Tega Brain’s class, Drawing, Seeing, and Moving with Code, experiment with code in a physical form. Students exported a sequence of ten static frames from gifs made in p5.js. The results are printed on lenticular paper and displayed on 5x5in cards that the viewer is invited to rotate and observe the image in movement. The cards are then fixed to a laser-cut plywood backing providing handles for the viewer to manipulate the work. “The Gifshop” is on display in the New Media wing of the Natural Science building.

Held annually since 2011, the Eyeo Festival brings together creative coders, data designers and creators working at the intersection of data, art & technology for inspiring talks, workshops, labs and events. The festival for 2016 will take place June, 6-9 in Minneapolis, MN.

ARTIST WORKS

REFUGE

NICHOLAS DICHIARA

It’s only getting worse. The number of refugees is increasing. There are hundreds of thousands of people traveling ocean routes looking for peace in Europe. Not all can make it – sinking boats, death, double-crossing smugglers – take a look beyond the numbers.

CEO VS. LOWEST SALARY

ALEX APOSTOLIDES

This project provides comparisons between CEOs and their lowest paid employee salaries by putting a well-known name in the same space as the common employee.

DROUGHT TOLERANT PLANTS SOLD HERE

EMILY ALPERSTEIN

Due to one of the worst droughts in the state’s history, California homeowners have taken various approaches to reduce water usage by altering their landscaping and incorporating drought-tolerant plants. Residents rather have rather artificial plants, rocks, and decorative dirt than letting their lawns turn brown and showing the true color of the effects of the drought. While it is a means to conserve water, it is also a superficial way of covering up this intense climate change.

TO COMPOST OR TO TRASH?

AMANDA PANZER

A discussion on the benefits of composting and the effects of throwing away possible compostable trash. This project highlights the process of composting at SUNY Purchase College, focusing on the Rocket Composter machine located on our campus.

HOMOSEXUALITY VS. RELIGION

MATHILDE RAMSGAARD

Through research, I have discovered a correlation between religiosity and labeling homosexuality as illegal. I have explored the western countries that are the most religious ones. It is interesting to comprehend the level of LGBT freedoms in those contexts.

CASUAL ENCOUNTERS

COURTNEY DANIELLE (a.k.a. DA BIG CHEESE)

Casual Encounters tells the stories of survivors of sex trafficking, revealing the unsettling truth that sex workers are not always consenting adults in the US.

SEPARATION

PATRICK SLUITER

One of the top two leading causes of clinical depression is divorce and unemployment. This project intends to finds connections between the two through analyzing data about states that suffer from the highest rate of depression and finding correlations to the rate of unemployment. Focusing on the top three states, a generalization of the problem will be displayed.

MIND THE BPA

KIMBERLY BAGER

As a result of the Anthropocene, I am exploring the vaguely understood creation of Bisphenol-A and the effects it has today. Produced during the process of making plastics, BPA has shown evidence that it disrupts human hormones when coming into contact with us. My goal is to make society more aware and more cautious of what they let their bodies come in contact to.

BOILING POINT

DENNIS MOORE

Ocean Acidification is the ongoing decrease in pH levels in the earth oceans, resulting from the uptake of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The fast-changing environmental conditions pose a huge threat to the oceanic ecosystem and biodiversity. Through focusing on the effects elevated carbon dioxide has on the ecologically and economically important Walleye Pollock, the severity of this issue can be understood.

MIGRANT/REFUGEE

TESSA GOODE

More than 700,000 migrants have already arrived, and it is estimated that over a million will head to Europe before the end of 2015. These migrants are flocking from Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Gaza, Eritrea, as well as a dozen nations in sub-Saharan and North Africa. They symbolize failed states, unending wars, and intractable conflicts. While this period is called the “European Migrant Crisis,” it is important to remember that there are between six to eight million people displaced in Syria, along with more than four million Syrian refugees in Lebanon, Turkey, and Jordan. As these numbers continue to increase, it is important to understand the conditions on the ground through visual communication.

FIGURE OF SPEECH

JAYSEN HENDERSON

English is the most commonly known language in the world. In a country where the average citizen speaks less than two languages, what would the world look like if we couldn’t rely on others to speak only English to communicate? Let’s have a look.
